Peer Support & Counselling

Members of the LGBTQ+ community

PEER SUPPORT

Are you needing someone to talk to and listen? Peer support allows people to ask questions and explore their feelings in a confidential, non-judgmental environment in the company of those who have been through similar situations and experiences. Volunteers, practicum students, and OUTSaskatoon employees are available to chat with anyone who drops in and/or phones our centre. Peer supporters will listen, refer when necessary, and will provide information. We also offer a range of support & social groups that are peer led that we encourage you to attend.

Counselling can help people navigate through on-going challenges surrounding their own sexuality and/or gender identity, as well as help navigate the sexuality and/or gender identity of loved ones. As well counselling can support individuals in clarifying what they need and who they are, help with exploring areas of concern, assist in establishing goals, and help with building connections with the individual, their community, and with others.
